For Gore, a very inconvenient astronaut

In an unprecedented, uninterrupted eight-minute monologue on Keith Olbermann’s "Countdown," Gore characterized those scientists who dispute the reality of global warming as part of a lunatic fringe.

Later, on Charlie Rose’s show, Gore went further. Asked by Rose "Do you know any credible scientist who says ‘wait a minute – this hasn’t been proven,’ is there still a debate?” Gore replied, "The debate’s over. The people who dispute the international consensus on global warming are in the same category now with the people who think the moon landing was staged on a movie lot in Arizona.”

American astronaut Dr. Jack Schmitt - [one of the last men to walk on the moon] - is the latest scientist to be added to the roster of more than 70 skeptics who will confront the subject of global warming at the second annual International Conference on Climate Change in New York City March 8-10, 2009.

Didn't you hear? The solid rocket boosters used by the Shuttle are bad nasty for The Environment. Use of enviro-friendly glue to hold the external tank insulation in place is voided by that glue's failure and Columbia's subsequent destruction. Several tons of litter, y'know. Hence, all previous accomplishments by NASA have been scrubbed from the records (except the ones where bad data supports AGW). Besides, Armstrong's words ("one small step...") were not gender nuetral, so they don't count, either.

Since you are being pedantic, surely you mean, "that at no time did his actual foot come in contact with the lunar surface while he was on the moon" or do you claim to know what he did with lunar samples in the lab?-pete e

pete e: he did not bring back the lunar surafce with him. He brought back dirt and rocks FROM the lunar surface. His only opportunity to set foot on the lunar surface was while actually on the moon for those three days.

The Euros were laughing at USA, 50% of world were skeptical. Last moonwalk got ignored by NFL game, the program was booted by NFL ratings ?

Armstrong sends cryptic messages about truth and lies, is in constant hiding, regrets not spending that time with family instead of being an astronaut, dissapointed to tears that NASA did not keep promise to moon in next decade, making him look like a fool.
